NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

They hardly ever pass out of the post is the biggest complaint even when double teamed. They do however pass around the perimeter and pass in to the post.

You are saying "hardly ever"...

Other guys are saying "never". "100% never".

Have you seen them pass out? I mean, if I triple teamed a CPU PF in the post...would he still shoot? (even though it would be an easy block for me, he would still automatically shoot????).

What if i left all the CPU's shooters open and triple teamed their post men....they'd still not pass?

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

If a team is running a motion set and a guard catches the ball on the block I have seen them pass out a couple times, don't think I've seen a front court player do it though.

To make it even worse there are rarely post moves either down there by the CPU, it's basically a catch n shoot or a fadeaway. Brutal.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

the cpu does indeed pass out of the post. It may not be as often as people expect or it should be, but if double teamed quickly, or having a guard cheat down, the cpu will pass the ball back out of the post and re-position.

In my experience the best way to get them to pass out, is to play as the defender guarding the offensive player that dumps the ball into the post and then cheat down, while calling for a double team.

Its a shame the game doesn't have the option to double in the paint like it used to. That would make this process a whole heck of a lot easier.

Damm

Brutal is the right word man.

I have seen bigs pass out of the post in LIVE...why is it not in the College game? It's the same engine.

EA should be embaressed by this kind of stuff. Are they going to patch it? It's in LIVE, so it should be easy to fix with a patch.

now this I do disagree with. Alot of times, I'll see the cpu do a post move. They'll back me down, do up and unders, or swim and dunk. Yes, they do turnarounds or the guards alot of times will do fadeaways, but I see more post moves than jumpers.

I think I may have seen 1 or 2 post moves in the 10 or so games I've played. It's 95% or more "Catch and shoot".

As far as passes out of the post, yes if you double quick enough or cheat with guard they pass out. That's few and far between though.


I enjoy the game but like I said earlier just a little more tuning and the game could have been great. A patch would do wonders for the enjoyment factor. If we don't get a patch then I'll lose what faith EA gained over the last year with me.

After playing this game for the past week, it does indeed deserve a 6.

Yeah when I played the CPU post moves were basically non-existent. They were plentiful in 09 too, sad.

As much as I disagree with this statement, I can at least respect it. Man it sucks that people feel this way, because there is a really good game in there.

For me, I have just been able to overlook the bad, love the good...and keep it as simple as that.

I gave it a 7 for what it's worth. Anyways yes there is a really good game in there and it is fun. I just really hope they do in fact patch the issues and make it even better.

If this was a football game and on 99% of every 2TE set the CPU ran, it was a run, while the game still might be a very fun game that one glaring thing would always keep the overall experience hampered.
That's where I'm at with the game. I'll keep playing it as it does have some qualities, but deep down I know it could be much more.

Totally agree Sky......I have had to lower my block ability down very low, and raise the sink or swim effectiveness higher for the cpu to try and compensate for this. It has helped as my big man Harangody is only avg 2.3 blocks per game.

Still a glaring issue, and if they patched this and a couple of other things..this game would last until the next iteration hit.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

This game is not a 6.

I have been spending a lot of time with NBA2k10 and what is interesting is that their bigs get the ball down low, and have a clear view to the rack, and pass it. Very frustrating. I think that I'd rather see the 5 ft pop 95 per cent of the time. Controls are not as consistent and smooth. I do like the way that 2k utilizes the r stick for defense. You can really play physical d and make a difference. This is my biggest complaint with EA bball games.

EA has very smooth gameplay. Controls on offense are excellent, presentation is entertaining, and the fun factor is constant.

I like this game very much but have posted my frustration with the ai post game. I certainly don't want constructive criticism to improve the game chase away people who are thinking of buying it. In my opinion, it was money well spent.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

I would really hope that anyone considering buying this game would atleast give this game a chance and go rent it. Don't pay any attention to the reviews or some of the EA haters that com on here and bash this game. I think a lot of the guys are upset 2k quit making a college game and want to blame EA for it. They decided on their own not EA forcing them out. So they take out their frustaration by bashing EA basketball game. IN the past EA has made crap but this year both live and NCAA are good in my opinion and while I loved CH2k8 I decided to take a different route from a few others and support EA because at least they are giving us a college hoop game and atempting to make great strides in this game. So rent the game and give it a go you just might be surprised and find that you can't stop playing this game and fall in love with college hoops all over like a lot of us did with CH2k8.

Re: NCAA Basketball 2010 Review

This game is a 1.0

It Freezes on me everytime I play it, Thus it is trash. I am not even exagerating either, 9 out of my last 10 games have frozen.
